Right just an easy question i guess.
Is the standard central locking supposed to lock and unlock the boot?
Mine doesnt and i have to do it manually.
Thanks

Yes - yours is probably seized up Common issue...
Free Off & Grease up the white clip on the lock with the long bar and it should work again!!

Take off the trim on the boot lid and you'll see the central locking mechanism with the actuator on the right of the lid and a connecting rod to back of the lock. The rod moves a white plastic thingy to and fro to enable the lock to be pressed against it which operates the de-latching mechanism. It seems like something is not moving freely on yours.

Thanks for your help guys ill have a look later on and hopefully get it sorted.

Check for rust on the connecting rod. This can cause the mechanism to seize where it goes through a clip. Sand down and as said apply some grease.
